Happy

Rick put his Craigslist skills to work and before we knew it we had a trampoline and no rototiller! A perfect swap! Emily could not be happier!!

Halloween Party

 We had our 4th Annual Halloween Party yesterday with Emily's best pals! We had a scavenger hunt, art projects, and trick or treating!

Chicago

Kathy White can get me to do a lot of things I don't want to do. I wasn't planning on doing another marathon this year, until she "sold" me on running Chicago with her and 2 other girls from LA. She sold it as a fun girls weekend and of course, as usual, she was right! We had an amazing weekend!!!! Dinner with 2 Manchester friends Friday night, EXPO and Athleta shopping on Saturday, race and deep dish pizza on Sunday. SO FUN!

I was hoping to have my best time ever in this race (anything faster than 3:49:54) and I was sort of confident that it might happen. Well, it wasn't meant to be, for reasons still unknown to me. I had to walk every water stop from mile 18 on, leaving me with a time of 4:10.

Oh well, it wasn't my day. There will be another one next year, I can't deny it, I love running marathons!
